Sorry Stef but I disagree. PLEASE don't misunderstand me. I know a lot of very good people have worked and is still working in Nile project. So, I am sure it is an excellent product.
However, I don't think it should be in Dev image. Dev image is for "Developers". So, we put tools like NewInspector, RoelTyper, E and OCompletion, Refactoring, etc. But why Nile ? I am not agree this is neither a way to push Nile to be used. It is no difference if you already have the code in the image or not, it is just one click of difference (as you have the Nile-All). Even if it where the case, I think it should be in Core image. The way to push a project to be used is to write documentation, tutorials, show the benefits over other implementations....and so on. If Moose use it, ok, put it as a dependency. Now you have a Metacello configuration for Moose :) I mean, in SqueakDBX we use FFI and we don't put in the image. Seaside uses Slime and it is not in the image. Just my opinion. I hope no one feels offended. What others think about this ?
